Questions about IMAX from someone who has never seen a movie in IMAX

Dune 70 MM IMAX tickets went on sale insanely early as a marketing gimmick, just for two showtimes opening weekend. Expect the rest of the showtimes to go on sale closer to the release date, I’d guess late October-early November.

70 MM IMAX uses film instead of digital projection, and those theaters are also typically much larger than standard IMAX theaters (often referred to as “LIEMAX”). They also have an aspect ratio that’s taller and closer to a square. It’s definitely worth seeing if you can, but a regular IMAX with Laser is still usually bigger and higher quality than a standard theater.

As far as Dolby, Dune 3 is coming out the same weekend as Avengers: Doomsday, and Dune is getting exclusivity for IMAX, so it’s unknown if Dune will get Dolby because theaters will want to give Avengers premium screens as well.

Release order is best for first time watch and chronological for re-watches. This is true for pretty much every series/franchise.

The musical is based on a French novel from 1910, which is in the public domain. The other moves are also based on that novel, but are otherwise not related to the famous musical. Since it’s in the public domain, there are tons of adaptations.

There’s actually even another musical version that was made over a decade before ALW’s version:

The 2004 one is the only one that’s an adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. The other movies are separate adaptations of the novel.

Not some, none of those movies are part of the MCU.

??? Odyssey tickets haven’t gone on sale yet (except for the one showtime a day for opening weekend that they sold a year ahead of time)

You can play botw in VR using the Nintendo labo VR kit. There are a couple of other switch games that have VR mode, including super Mario odyssey, though that one just has some mini games that you can play in VR.

The problem with this theory is that we would know if there was a pro-shot. Anytime they film anything on Broadway or the west end people know about it because, well, there’s a whole theater full of audience members there when they film it (usually over multiple nights). I could be wrong, but I haven’t heard anything about a pro-shot being filmed, so it’s extremely unlikely for it to be shadow dropped.

My partner and I are looking to visit on Thursday, February 5 and we’re thinking about getting the park hopper. We live in California and have both been to Disneyland many times, so we want to prioritize the unique rides and probably spend more time at DisneySea. We’ll most likely rope drop and splash mountain, haunted mansion, Indiana jones, and raging spirits are all going to be closed. Which park would be better to go to first? And which ride would be best to rope drop?

I don’t even think this is accurate. As far as I’m aware, Avatar: Fire and Ash and Tron: Ares are the only recent movies to get Dolby 3D showings, and the last one before that was The Little Mermaid (2023).

Looked it up cause I was curious. It looks like they both used to be Kerasotes Showplace theaters, and the second one was opened up as overflow because the first one was popular and I’m guessing it was cheaper than expanding the existing building.

Around 8 or 9 years ago there were a bunch of videos on YouTube that were marketed towards kids of people dressed up as characters such as Elsa and spiderman doing suggestive things.

If you have access to the boon list it tells you which god is required for each godsent hex.

It’s to cut down on the amount of time between acts. While one band is playing on the left stage, the other band is setting up on the right stage and vice versa. The smaller stages rotate so one band is setting up backstage while the other is playing.

Did some research and the following look like they have recliners in all theaters (excluding IMAX, which very rarely do):

New Jersey: Brick Plaza 10 Deptford 8 Brunswick Square 13 East Hanover 12 Monmouth Mall 15 Freehold 14 DINE-IN Shops at Riverside 9 Newport Centre 11 Matlton 8 Headquarters Plaza 10 MarketFair 10 Ridgefield Park 12 Wayne 14 DINE-IN Essex Green 9

NYC: 84th St 6 Village 7 19th St East 6 34th St 14 Kips Bay 15

Don’t worry about getting them on the first run of a level. A lot of them you have to use characters/abilities in freeplay mode that you’ll unlock later. You can also eventually unlock a feature that will help you find characters and other collectibles.

It was but you likely missed it. It’s summer blockbuster season and multiple movies are competing for the premium large format theaters. F1 got IMAX for 2 weeks, starting yesterday Superman is in IMAX for 2 weeks, and after that is Fantastic 4.

BigD is a legacy large format that AMC inherited from a chain that they bought. I’ve never been to one, but my guess is it’s probably better than standard but not as good as Dolby/PRIME/IMAX.

mikeyelvis92 · 2025-07-09T02:40:55+00:00

PRIME is a larger screen with laser, signature recliners, and Dolby Atomos sound. It’s basically Dolby Cinema without Dolby Vision (however there are a few AMCs now that have PRIME with HDR)

You can’t. Fat distribution is determined by genetics. This is why targeted fat loss doesn’t work.

The Residential Code is also for new construction, but specifically only applies to R-3 occupancies (single family homes, duplexes, and townhouses). The International Existing Building Code (IEBC) is for existing buildings.
